3 Over-simplified history of programming languages 1940's 1950's 1960's machine language assembly language high-level languages: Algol, Fortran, Cobol, Basic 1970's 1980's 1990's systems programming: C object-oriented: C++ strongly-hyped: Java 2000's lookalike languages: C# 2010's retry: Go, Rust, Swift
4 AWK a language for pattern scanning and processing Al Aho, Brian Kernighan, Peter Weinberger, at Bell Labs, ~1977 intended for simple data processing: selection, validation: "Print all lines longer than 80 characters" length > 80 transforming, rearranging: Print first two fields in the opposite order" { print $2, $1 } report generation: "Add up the numbers in the first field, then print the sum and average" { sum += $1 } END { print sum, sum/nr }
5 Structure of an AWK program: a sequence of pattern-action statements pattern { action } pattern { action } "pattern" is a regular expression, numeric expression, string expression or combination of these "action" is executable code, similar to C usage: awk 'program' [ file1 file2... ] awk -f progfile [ file1 file2... ] operation: for each file for each input line for each pattern if pattern matches input line do the action
6 AWK features: input is read automatically across multiple files lines are split into fields ($1,..., $NF; $0 for whole line) variables contain string or numeric values (or both) no declarations: type determined by context and use initialized to 0 and empty string built-in variables for frequently-used values operators work on strings or numbers coerce type / value according to context associative arrays (arbitrary subscripts) regular expressions (like egrep) control flow statements similar to C: if-else, while, for, do built-in and user-defined functions arithmetic, string, regular expression, text edit,... printf for formatted output getline for input from files or processes
7 Some small useful AWK programs NF > 0 print non-empty lines { sum += $1 } END { print sum } print sum of values in first field { x[nr] = $0 } reverse input by lines END { for (i = NR; i > 0; i--) print x[i] } { for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) w[$i]++ } word freq count END { for (i in w) print i, w[i] }
8 Associative Arrays array subscripts can have any value, not just integers canonical example: adding up name-value pairs input: pizza 200 beer 100 pizza 500 beer 50 output: pizza 700 beer 150 program: { amount[$1] += $2 } END { for (name in amount) print name, amount[name] "sort -k1 -nr" }
9 Awk text formatter #!/bin/sh # f - format text into 60-char lines awk ' /./ { for (i = 1; i <= NF; i++) addword($i) } /^$/ { printline(); print "" } END { printline() } function addword(w) { if (length(line) + length(w) > 60) printline() line = line space w space = " " } function printline() { if (length(line) > 0) print line line = space = "" } ' "$@"

11 COS 320 in 20 minutes with apologies to David August how does a compiler work? how does an interpreter work? syntax and semantics parsing and parse trees recursive descent parsing parser generator tools lexical analysis, generators testing lessons learned
12 Anatomy of a compiler input lexical analysis tokens syntax analysis symbol table intermediate form code generation object file linking input data a.out output
13 Anatomy of an interpreter input lexical analysis tokens syntax analysis symbol table intermediate form input data execution output
14 Parsing by recursive descent expr: term expr + term expr - term term: factor term * factor term / factor factor: NUMBER ( expr ) NF > 0 { f = 1 e = expr() if (f <= NF) printf("error at %s\n", $f) else printf("\t%.8g\n", e) } function expr( e) { # term term [+-] term e = term() while ($f == "+" $f == "-") e = $(f++) == "+"? e + term() : e - term() return e } function term( e) { # factor factor [*/] factor e = factor() while ($f == "*" $f == "/") e = $(f++) == "*"? e * factor() : e / factor() return e } function factor( e) { # number (expr) if ($f ~ /^[+-]?([0-9]+[.]?[0-9]* [.][0-9]+)$/) { return $(f++) } else if ($f == "(") { f++ e = expr() if ($(f++)!= ")") printf("error: missing ) at %s\n", $f) return e } else { printf("error: expected number or ( at %s\n", $f) return 0 } }
15 YACC and LEX languages/tools for building [parts of] compilers and interpreters YACC: "yet another compiler compiler" (Steve Johnson, ~ 1972) converts a grammar and semantic actions into a parser for that grammar LEX: lexical analyzer generator (Mike Lesk, ~ 1974) converts regular expressions for tokens into a lexical analyzer that recognizes those tokens parser calls lexer each time it needs another input token lexer returns a token and its lexical type when to think of using them: real grammatical structures (e.g., recursively defined) complicated lexical structures rapid development time is important language design might change
16 YACC overview YACC converts grammar rules & semantic actions into parsing fcn yyparse() yyparse parses programs written in that grammar, performs semantic actions as grammatical constructs are recognized semantic actions usually build a parse tree each node represents a particular syntactic type, children are components code generator walks the tree to generate code may rewrite tree as part of optimization an interpreter could run directly from the program (TCL, shells) interpret directly from the tree (AWK, Perl?): at each node, interpret children (recursion), do operation of node itself, return result generate byte code output to run elsewhere (Java) generate byte code (Python, ) generate C to be compiled later compiled code runs faster but compilation takes longer, needs object files, less portable, interpreters start faster, but run slower for 1- or 2-line programs, interpreter is better on the fly / just in time compilers merge these (e.g., C#, Java)
17 Parse tree example while b!= 0 if a > b a = a b else b = b a return a
18 Grammar specified in YACC grammar rules specify the syntax the action part of a rule specifies the semantics usually used to build a parse tree for subsequent processing statement : IF ( expression ) statement { create node(if, expr, stmt, 0) } IF ( expression ) statement ELSE statement { create node(if, expr, stmt1, stmt2) } WHILE (expression ) statement { create node(while, expr, stmt) } variable = expression { create node(assign, var, expr) } expression : expression + expression { create node(add, expr, expr } expression expression { create node(sub, expr, expr }... YACC creates a parser from this when the parser runs, it creates a parse tree a compiler walks the tree to generate code an interpreter walks the tree to execute it
19 Excerpts from AWK grammar term: term '+' term { $$ = op2(add, $1, $3); } term '-' term { $$ = op2(minus, $1, $3); } term '*' term { $$ = op2(mult, $1, $3); } term '/' term { $$ = op2(divide, $1, $3); } term '%' term { $$ = op2(mod, $1, $3); } '-' term %prec UMINUS { $$ = op1(uminus, $2); } INCR var { $$ = op1(preincr, $2); } var INCR { $$ = op1(postincr, $1); } stmt: while {inloop++;} stmt {--inloop; $$ = stat2(while,$1,$3);} if stmt else stmt { $$ = stat3(if, $1, $2, $4); } if stmt { $$ = stat3(if, $1, $2, NIL); } lbrace stmtlist rbrace { $$ = $2; } while: WHILE '(' pattern rparen { $$ = notnull($3); }
20 Excerpts from a LEX analyzer "++" { yylval.i = INCR; RET(INCR); } "--" { yylval.i = DECR; RET(DECR); } ([0-9]+(\.?)[0-9]* \.[0-9]+)([eE](\+ -)?[0-9]+)? { yylval.cp = setsymtab(yytext, tostring(yytext), atof(yytext), CON NUM, symtab); RET(NUMBER); } while { RET(WHILE); } for { RET(FOR); } do { RET(DO); } if { RET(IF); } else { RET(ELSE); } return { if (!infunc) ERROR "return not in function" SYNTAX; RET(RETURN); } { RET(yylval.i = yytext[0]); /* everything else */ }
21 The whole process grammar lexical rules YACC Lex (or other) other C code y.tab.c parser lex.yy.c analyzer C compiler a.out
22 AWK implementation source code is about 6500 lines of C and YACC compiles (almost) without change on Unix/Linux, Windows, Mac parse tree nodes (interior): typedef struct Node { int type; /* ARITH, */ Node *next; Node *child[4]; } Node; leaf nodes (values): typedef struct Cell { int type; /* VAR, FLD, */ Cell *next; char *name; char *sval; /* string value */ double fval; /* numeric value */ int state; /* STR NUM ARR */ } Cell;
23 Using Awk for testing RE code regular expression tests are described in a very small specialized language: ^a.$ ~ ax aa!~ xa aaa axy each test is converted into a command that exercises awk: echo 'ax' awk '!/^a.$'/ { print "bad" }' illustrates little languages programs that write programs mechanization
24 Lessons people use tools in unexpected, perverse ways compiler writing: implementing languages and other tools object language (programs generate Awk) first programming language existence of a language encourages programs to generate it machine generated inputs stress differently than people do mistakes are inevitable and hard to change concatenation syntax ambiguities, especially with > function syntax creeping featurism from user pressure difficulty of changing a "standard bugs last forever "One thing [the language designer] should not do is to include untried ideas of his own." (C. A. R. Hoare, Hints on Programming Language Design, 1973)
